Kafe 1788 in Tower Hamlets

The food was disappointing and not worth the price. Portions were small, and despite arriving for iftar, my meal was served an hour late. We were fasting and expected better service, but the experience was frustrating. To make matters worse, the staff—especially one of the ladies—was rude. We definitely won’t be coming back.

There is no toilet roll in wash room however if you ask staff they will count and give you only 2 pieces of tissue. Ridiculous 😡!!! Despite it was pre booked for large group of 20 plus!!

Una delle più buone pizze di Londra! Pizza al trancio! Prezzo economico e locale accogliente.. consigliato per un pasto veloce!

Service was great but the food itself was horrid. Took one bite of my meal and the doner meat meal (mixed) was different temperatures, with the lamb being cold and the chicken being lukewarm. Overall taste wasn't there either. Very likely that I caught acute food poisoning.

Please don't waste your time or money visiting here. Once upon a time this place was one of the best in London. Now, the food isn't fit for a dog. And that's before we get to the service. The lamb chops were this restaurant's signature dish. Now I wouldn't serve them to my worst enemy. They are thin, fatty, lifeless poor excuses for meat. The kebabs are made with an old, dry, musty mince. The masala fish comes in a batter where the powdered spices are raw and singe the palate. The naan is doughy, lacking even a hint of crispiness. The salad is stale, with mouldy tomatoes accompanying the limp cucumber.The curries are all served in the same slop of a sauce made by someone with a passing acquaintance with curries of the subcontinent. Service is atrocious. Are the staff racist? They need to remember they are in London, and some British people may make the mistake of gracing their doorways and that all customers of every hue should be treated with the same level of respect. And not be made to wait for 20 minutes while regulars are seated and served their food. Farewell to a fond establishment. Over the past decade I've spent many pounds in here, and made many more memories. But everything comes to an end. It's a shame it had to be this way.
